Chapter 422: Chapter 421: Calmly Facing Death Yue Ming’s Diary

Watching Yue Ming’s animated speech, Tan Ye felt as if he were watching a clown perform.

"Xiao Tan, do you realize how critical this step is for the Yue Clan?"

Seeing Tan Ye nod, Yue Ming was about to put on a pedagogical expression when Tan Ye’s next words made it hard for him to keep a straight face.

"I don’t see how it’s so critical, only that... you want the Yue Clan to die."

With a cold sneer, Tan Ye crossed his arms. "You only see the families around us who bear malice towards the Yue Clan, but you fail to see those allied families who..."

"If you let your sister go to the coronation ceremony to accept the dominant consciousness, it may well empower the Yue Clan tremendously for a moment, but Uncle, have you ever considered..."

His gaze icy, Tan Ye spoke coldly, "These large Insect Tides will leave, and those allied families that don’t want to accept the dominant consciousness, how will they treat the Yue Clan?"

"This..."

The words halted at his lips, Yue Ming’s face showing embarrassment: "We still have the dominance’s protection."

"Dominance? Would it truly protect you and not just kick you while you’re down?"

Silently nodding, agreeing with Tan Ye’s point.

It felt like the Yue Clan’s Elder Council had not experienced other Insect Clans’ brutal hits; otherwise, why would their thinking be so naive?

The dominance’s consciousness is akin to a stealthy controller.

Having already controlled Yue Sichen, would it still spare any concern for the Yue Clan?

Even Lu Zixun knew these things, yet Yue Ming thought them so simple.

If not for the influence of the dominance’s consciousness, then Lu Zixun could assert that Yue Ming was a dreamer.

"And...if I remember correctly, Yue Sichen is now the Clan Leader of the Yue Clan, isn’t that right, Elder Cen?"

Tan Ye’s gaze fell on an elder seated in a corner, and he spoke up.

"Yes."

Cen Youming nodded lightly and said flatly, "Today you returned, and I wanted to ask Elder Yue, where did you hear the news that the dominance would protect our half-human, half-insect existence?"

Cold sweat dripped from Yue Ming’s forehead as he defended, "We’re all Insect Clan, not half-human, half-insect!"

"Oh."

With a light chuckle, Cen Youming continued, "Then, who gave you the right to confine the current Clan Leader of the Yue Clan?"

"By the rules of the Yue Clan, when the current Clan Leader errs, the Elder Council has the authority to make corrections!"

With his neck stretched, Yue Ming spoke with reason and evidence.

"Well, I want to know what mistake Xiao Chen has made?"

Upon Tan Ye’s return, Cen Youming began to challenge Yue Ming.

Feeling these debates were too trivial, Lu Zixun yawned broadly.

Inside, he wondered when the family council would end and resolve these voices of dissent within the clan; wouldn’t things become clear then?

Ears pressed down, blocking out external sounds, Lu Zixun started to doze off.

"Enough!"

Suddenly standing up with a slam of the table, Tan Ye looked at Yue Ming with a face full of disappointment, "Uncle, you shouldn’t be half-human, half-insect, but a purely cold and ruthless Insect Clan member, otherwise your actions wouldn’t be justified."

"Xiao Tan, I..."

Yue Ming wanted to say something else, but Tan Ye interrupted him, "Enough, today’s family council ends here, we can discuss matters tomorrow."

Awakening to these words, Lu Zixun knew Tan Ye had resolved to kill those individuals.

After the members of the Elder Council had left, Lu Zixun stretched lazily and said, "The issues within your family are indeed very complex; it’s giving me a headache."

"They weren’t like this before."

Rubbing his temples, Tan Ye sighed silently, "From now on, I’ll be counting on you."

"OK."

Lu Zixun smiled, "Should we add anyone to the list?"

He had glanced at the list previously, and Yue Ming’s name wasn’t on it.

Now it seemed that Yue Ming was the main culprit behind confining Yue Sichen.

Otherwise, the influence of the other elders wouldn’t have been sufficient.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Tan Ye said wearily, "Yue Ming."

...

While conversing with Yue Sichen, waiting for midnight, Lu Zixun asked, "Si Chen, who is Yue Ming?"

"My father’s brother; he was very kind to us as children, often taking us out of the Eighteenth District to play in human gathering places."

Yue Sichen seemed to recall something and smiled, "Upon returning, he would get scolded by my father, but he never changed and always took us out."

"But..."

His expression suddenly became melancholic, Yue Sichen sighed, "People change; I never imagined Uncle could lead the Elder Council to confine me."

Listening to Yue Sichen talk about her childhood.

Unnoticed, time reached midnight; knowing it was time to depart, Lu Zixun jumped out from the windowsill.

Holding the Night Evil Sword, he continuously culled names from the list. The scent of blood thick on him, Lu Zixun arrived at Yue Ming’s room.

At that moment, Yue Ming was not in a meditative state; there was food on the table, and he held a wine glass, seemingly waiting for someone.

Lu Zixun walked in with a puzzled look. Yue Ming’s gaze fell on him.

He smiled, "It’s really you, come have a drink and some food; you must be tired after killing all night."

Without intending to converse, Lu Zixun drew the Night Evil Sword, prepared to kill Yue Ming, but only heard Yue Ming say lightly, "The dominance’s consciousness isn’t as terrifying as you think; what’s frightening is what lies behind him; you must..."

Before finishing his sentence, the sharp Night Evil Sword penetrated Yue Ming’s heart, Yue Ming collapsed on the table, blood pooling on the ground.

Sheathing the Night Evil Sword, Lu Zixun felt strangely as if Yue Ming had been waiting for him to come; coupled with his last words, it seemed not to delay time but to genuinely inform Lu Zixun of something.

Feeling slightly uneasy, Lu Zixun rummaged through Yue Ming’s room and found a diary with a weathered cover.

The content written on the front pages was faded over time and illegible, only showing the events after the birth of Yue Sichen.

"7th Year of Crimson... My niece was born, her adorable appearance melted hearts, and she would even smile at me; truly an angel!"

"Got scolded by my brother again today; what’s wrong with taking my niece to the human gathering places? We are human too."

Most of the diary detailed interactions between Yue Ming and Yue Sichen.

Briefly browsing through, Lu Zixun saw recent events.

"They’ve come for me."

"The dominance’s consciousness isn’t so simple. Destroyers can’t absorb the Power of Faith of the Insect Clan, but the dominance can..."

"Must... delay time."
